Adjusted operating margins for Q2 were 17.2%, which is within the target band of 17% to 17.5%. (2 met, 2 exceeded across 4 tracked commitments)
“Our endeavor is going to be to make sure that we keep it in that band of 17% to 17.5%.”
The company reported IT Services revenue of $2.64 billion, hitting the exact upper bound of the guided range. (3 met, 1 exceeded across 4 tracked commitments)
“And we will be able to significantly exceed the minimum threshold that we had laid out in our capital allocation policy for the block-ending financial year 2026.”

Where does growth come from?
Capco is showing steady to accelerating performance, reaching its highest revenue levels in several quarters driven by AI advisory and consulting demand. (1 accelerating across 1 signal)
“Capco is making a big difference in terms of the whole AI advisory and consulting. And the way they are being proactively shaping the clients thought process in terms of the whole geopolitics and in terms of the trade and tariff and the technology transition has been really good.”
Large deal bookings show a significant acceleration in the final quarter, jumping from $0.96 billion in Q3 to $1.76 billion in Q4, representing a 48.5% year-over-year increase in constant currency. (5 accelerating across 5 signals)
“A strong example is the strategic deal we announced recently with the Olam Group, expected to exceed $1 billion in contract value with a committed spend of $800 million. This is one of our largest engagements to date in APMEA.”

What could break the thesis?
The risk remains INTENSIFYING as IT Services revenue declined 2.3% YoY in constant currency terms for Q1'26, and the outlook for Q2'26 remains weak with a guidance range of -1.0% to +1.0%. (2 intensifying, 3 easing, 1 high-severity)
“Our IT Services revenue for quarter 4 was $2.65 billion, reflecting a sequential growth of 0.2% and degrowth of 0.2% on a YoY basis... In Q1, we are guiding for a sequential growth of minus 2% to 0% in constant currency terms.”
The risk is INTENSIFYING. Management explicitly called out that tariffs are causing clients in Retail, CPG, and Manufacturing (especially Automotive) to pause large transformation projects. (4 intensifying, 1 emerging, 1 high-severity)
“The top customer decline although you said it's temporary. It's a very sharp decline. Can you talk a bit about what led to this?”
